haha yeah. My hands are stained with grease and sovered in little nicks and calluses. Then i go to work where everyone else has soft pretty hands.
You remind me of one time in Benin where we had gone down on the container terminal to help the locals with their toplifters. (big vehicles lifting containers around)
At the office one of the flunkies (white) looked demonstratively DOWN at us, the chief engineer, first engineer, and me, the electrician.
It was a very strange experience, the flunkie were apparently unaware of the amount of education and experience hiding behind the dirty overalls.
Or less generously, he did not care.
